Beach Weekend

Introducing Beach Weekend – a light weight pullover with elbow length raglan sleeves and a wide boat neckline. Its fitted stockinette bodice showcases the lace of its slim sleeves that are worked in the easily mastered Tilting Blocks stitch pattern. This design is worked from the top down with minimal shaping – perfect for knitting on the beach, where most of its knitting actually did occur, and for year-round wear.
